Building a Bioactive Terrarium Habitat for Tomato Frogs!

[@TheEsurianWriter]

I can’t believe I didn’t know these little guys existed :0 new fav frog!

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Aren't they just the cutest fat frogs?!

[@elijahhariss]

They make great pets just got one two days ago and fell in love ❤ my fav frog so far but I would recommend a Pac-Man frog because u can’t handle tomato frogs often

[@stephenseger19]

If you did happen to make the palm stalks available I would definitely grab some next time I order some biodegradables.

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Good to know, thank you!

[@liamHauser-k6l]

I have one of these a baby and god when you say secretive your right I sat there for an hour looking for him lightly moving around the moss he dug himself almost completely under the ground I did research but clearly not enough didn’t know they dug that deep all I saw was his little eye poking out, im so exited to expand his setup

[@tyliful]

i love tomato frogs as well. you got a beautiful pair there.

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Thank you!

[@frankieromantv7653]

Never knew about these cute amazing frogs I’d sure would love to raise a few

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

They're really so much fun!

[@ryanhutson9607]

I accidentally mixed dairy cows and powder blues in 3 enclosures, when I first got into bioactives. They are doing well 18 months later. I am aware that the species crash usually comes at 24 months, so I keep an eye on them.

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Please keep us updated on the progress. I honestly wanted to see for myself, especially as the enclosure matures. Thank you for sharing.

0:39 AHH ACTIVITY! I MUST START PEEING! Classic frog, honestly

[@MusicalNotes23]

i want 1 of these boys so badly! way to cute to say no to!

[@puke-jd6lm]

Come on in and see if these are the fat frogs for you. That has me so dead I'm gushing at these angry tomatoes how cute

[@Efrw]

Great timing, i have to build the pair I have a new setup and this was a good bit of insirpation.

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Glad I could help!

[@fastvincent1]

Nice

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Thanks!

[@TrySopanha]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@mannyjamms3797]

Been watching your vids since I was 13 I'm 19 now 😂

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

I love it dude, thanks for all your support over the years!

[@vazzaroth]

I've done plenty of planted fish tanks and had a desert lizard as a kid, but thinking about some Tomato frogs now that I no longer have fish tanks. Would bioactive substrate like this stink under any circumstance? Our landlord is worried about mold since we're in a humid area already, so I'm wondering if these types of multi-animal active setups produce much smell outside of the tank, like with a wire lid.

[@marentorri]

i've been wanting a tomato frog for a while & this video was super helpful. also ps: you kinda sound like hiccup from how to train your dragon!

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

I am glad to hear you found this video helpful, that's my goal!

[@klo2158]

Would this enclosure and setup be good for Pac-Man frogs???

[@bearstopanimation]

im thinking of getting a tomato frog as someone who has never owned frogs before. is this kind of setup good for beginers?

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Absolutely! There are so many benefits that come along with a Bioactive set up!

[@kalevquigley5686]

Is a 20 gallon tank big enough?

[@andrewkunz1777]

About how much is a set up like this? Not including the tank, I have a 50 and I’m wanting to fill it but I don’t know what I want for a set up🤔I just don’t want something that is gonna be crazy expensive to set up and upkeep

[@stephaniedralansohana1756]

Can you make a habitat for Pacman frogs?

[@jptristin4474]

Did y’all restock yall website yet???

[@tylerj50]

What are the top 5 plants you would recommend for pac man frogs? I am using your Terra Firma.

[@hennessey415]

Hi in new here, I just bought my first pacman frog. I was wondering if the isopods multiply themselves or do I have to keep adding. Also what heating device do you use and how do you keep humidity levels up. I have the same tank with mesh net cover and I think it's losing humidity because if it. Thank you in advance

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Isopods are capable of multiplying themselves, their population can increase naturally if the conditions are suitable. As for heating, they require a warm environment, ideally within the temperature range of 75-85°F. We always recommend an overheat heat source to replicate the sun above, with mats, there is potential you could burn your frogs belly. Aim for humidity levels between 70-80%. We utilize our Thermometer/hygrometer to monitor both ambient temperatures and the humidity.

[@Carlie_flower]

Thank you! I can't wait to get my lil ketchup set up in a tank like this 🥹

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Very exciting!

[@Ma7usa]

I need tips to do a terrarium to a epicrathes assisi, is like a cousin of rainbow boa, but she lives in caatinga, i don’t know what i can use in substrate and decomposers (isopodes and spring tails)

[@madie5092]

Do you need to water the plants or is misting the whole terrarium sufficient?

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Misting the overall enclosure is sufficient. If you have plants that require a little more moisture, I would recommend directing the water toward their root base.

[@danasmith8557]

Great video, I wish u mailed them things I want me a couple, I got a pacman frog 🐸

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Thank you! We prefer to not ship live animals due to the stress the transit times can cause them. I do apologize for the inconvenience.

[@kikeh23]

Can they be in a mostly water environment?

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

They thrive best in a substrate based environment, they enjoy burrowing to create a little sitting spot.

[@mryes413]

How long to quarantine tomato frogs?

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

We recommend quarantining any species for a minimum of 2-3 weeks. This way you can monitor their eating habits along with their waste to ensure their healthy and thriving before introducing them into their environment.

[@sahurudin]

I never seen this frog

[@TerraRyzin78]

Why don't you use a real terrarium? Exo Terras are just a compromise.
